Retail outpost display structures are merchandising displays that are placed in various remote locations within a retail store that contain merchandise that is not typically sold in the area of the display. The design and manufacture of such structures is oftentimes expensive, inflexible and time consuming due to individual retailer needs and the wide assortment of products that may be displayed upon the structure. Typically, new merchandise displays are designed and manufactured with the yearly change of merchandise inventory. Outposts are sometimes designed to a certain set of criteria which may hinder placement and longevity of the outpost and product. Also, different display types often call for different manufacturing and assembly methods. Current retail merchandising display systems lack sufficient flexibility for utilization in different shopping environments. Space requirements and aisle configurations often differ considerably not only from store to store but also from department to department. Retail displays are usually designed with a specific store set and floor plan in mind and are adaptable to a different floor plan only at considerable expense and time. A considerable cost is also associated with the oftentimes complicated assembly and disassembly of intricate display systems. Another potentially costly consideration is that individual retailer's may require that all merchandising displays are customized so as to create differentiation among retailers. These requirements often result in the production of a costly, inflexible display system.
